Overview:

This article explains the correct method for powering the JBL IRX 100 Series ON and OFF, helping users avoid common mistakes that can make the speaker appear unresponsive.


Follow these steps to properly turn the speaker ON:

Many users repeatedly press and hold the power button while trying to turn the speaker on.  Because the IRX 100 Series is designed to power up with a short press, holding the button may cause users to miss the intended startup sequence, creating the impression that the speaker powers on "randomly."
 

Power ON Sequence

✅ Power ON: Short press the power button (less than 2 seconds); the power LED will turn green, then the EQ preset LED will turn on amber

❌ Power ON ≠ Press and hold indefinitely

 


Follow these steps to properly turn the speaker OFF:

The correct shutdown sequence is to short-press the power button.

Power OFF Sequence

✅ Power OFF: Short press the power button

❌ Power OFF ≠ Press and hold indefinitely
